Speaking at Comic-Con International in San Diego, he revealed that the forthcoming Constantine television series will not interfere with his plans for the movie.

"I'm still working on it," he told Superhero Hype. "Sandman doesn't figure in the Dark Universe. We have Deadman, we have the Demon, we have Swamp Thing, we have Zatana, we have Constantine, but DC and Warners have been very clear that they are trying to keep those properties separate, so when the time comes they can unite them, once they know they're quantifiable.
